Local reports say the second aircraft was wet-leased from Bulgarian carrier BH Air and it was returned at the end of April.
Sri Lanka's main national carrier is full-service operator SriLankan Airlines, which is partly owned by Emirates.
Mihin Lanka was established last year as a low-cost carrier and is named after Sri Lanka's president, Mahinda Rajapaksa.
